In 2006, a volcanologist with the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) named Mount Hood the fourth-most-dangerous volcano in the country. Some in the industry believe it’s the most likely of Oregon’s volcanoes to erupt; its last period of eruptive activity was 170 to 220 years ago.

This volcano is also located on São Paulo Island and has been relatively dormant since 1564. Like Sete Cidades, it’s a stratovolcano, but its origins are older (somewhere between thirty thousand and forty-five thousand years ago).

That’s why, like Mount Teide, it’s a Decade Volcano.
